House Diaries: Our First Project

Yep, it’s finally time: We’ve chosen our first home improvement project. So, what will it be, you say? I’ve showed you my 5 least favorite home features. I’ve lamented about my completely paneled room. But none of those things made the first project list. Why? Because right now, our master bedroom (embarrassingly) looks like this:

Yep, this is it.

Yes, it’s a mattress on the floor. Our previous bed frame couldn’t handle another move, so we said RIP and decided to start fresh in the new house. And then there’s this sad little area:

A clothing "vignette."

Needless to say, this room needs some TLC. But since it’s our first project, we’re focusing more on cosmetics than the bones of the house, which will give us a chance to bulk up our DIY muscles. Plus, Josh and I figure that we’ll appreciate having a sanctuary away from the dust and chaos when we’re peeling up orange carpeting and sanding walls in the rest of the house. So what do we have in store for the room?

The rest of the plan, including what to do about that carpeting, is still in the works. Next stop: Paint colors! What would you do in this room? What was your first project in your first house? Tell me about it in the comments below.

You really make it seem so easy together with
your presentation but I to find this matter to be really something that I
think I’d by no means understand. It kind of feels
too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward to your next submit, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!
